Wouldn\u2019t it be awesome if there were alternatives to using these harsh cleaners? (Hint: there totally are!)<\/p>\n<h2>A super simple, natural cleaning solution that\u2019s good for everything:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd cup of vinegar<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup baking soda<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd gallon of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A simple recipe for a simple cleaner, this mix is great for water stains in bathtubs and on chrome, windows, mirrors, and any other shiny surface! Vinegar is a great disinfectant and baking soda is good for stains and smells, so this powerful and easy mixture can do a great deal \u2013 and it\u2019s much cheaper and safer on the nose to boot!<\/p>\n<h2>Use lemon to clean your cutting boards<\/h2>\n<p><em>Especially<\/em> if you\u2019ve been cutting fish or seafood. Simply cut a lemon, sprinkle some salt on the cutting board, and wipe it down, getting that acidy lemon juice in all the nooks and crannies! The lemon juice will cover up and deodorize any smells that may latch on to the board, and the salt + acid combo of the mixture will nuke a bunch of germs on it too. You should still use some dish soap after, but your board will be fresher than ever when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<h2>Use a cheap vodka for pet stains and other smelly areas<\/h2>\n<p>Who knew that vodka was a great way to get rid of bad smells? Turns out putting a bit into a spray bottle and going to town on certain smelly stains can really do wonders. This trick works best with clothes \u2013 have something you really want to wear but worry that it isn\u2019t clean, since you wore it the other day? Give it a light misting of vodka and the smells will come right out! Great if you really need to wear that lucky top again!<\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t believe the hype \u2013 there are a lot of ways to clean without opening up that bleach bottle and they all smell a lot better and are a lot milder to the touch! Every now and then you\u2019ll need that bleach, for sure, but for everything else, try something a little more home-made. You\u2019ll be surprised at the results!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the biggest problems with cleaning your house comes from the materials you need &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-2623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rental-guides"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
